    I love vodka and club soda in the summer, very lo cal. I use citrus fruit to flavor it, you could wedge some lemons, limes and oranges and put them out for a little variety.

    Okay, so this might sound totally lame and cheap, but when I'm craving a margarita, I go buy the "lime" no-calorie drink mixes from Walmart. I'm talking about those little packets with names like "Orange Sunrise" and "Raspberry Ice". They sell all different flavors and have virtually no calories. I then mix a cup of the mixed juice with a shot of tequila, and bam! Only about 75 calories per drink. The regular drink mixers have LOADS of sugar in them. It makes my gut rot.

    P.S. I made a bunch for my friends and didn't tell them I mixed the juice up from a powder, and everyone said they tasted amazing. Maybe they were just being nice, but for a cheap bottle of tequila and $1.88 drink mixes (enough for about 3 gallons), it'll do the trick.

    If you are a wine-o, go for moscato. I have my cheapy barefoot moscato anytime I need to take the edge off. 5 oz is 127 calories but at the same rate, it's a once in a lifetime thing, ENJOY your day.

    First off, I'd certainly say "enjoy the day" - I suspect you'll have burnt enough calories from all the other activities to justify it ;).

    After that, I think I'd explore low calorie cordials - consider freezing some to make ice cubes, then crush these.

    I would presume most spirits are similar calories, so go for something strong you don't mind the taste off - can always use less if it's too strong.

    I'm presuming that higher proof = more alcohol = less calories from other 'stuff'.
